Players to keep an eye on when the 49ers travel to New Orleans on Sunday.
The San Francisco 49ers are expecting reinforcements before Sunday’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Kyle Shanahan sounded optimistic that a host of starters would make their return to the lineup this week. We’re feeling dangerous here at Niners Nation, focusing on players that are currently on the injury report but are expected to start and assuming the risk of a surprise...

The 49ers DC spoke to the media after Thursday’s practice.
San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh discussed the Saints, Drew Brees, what has made Fred Warner so good, and much more.
Any update you can provide on DL Arik Armstead? Is that a serious--?
“No, just a vet day. He had a big workload in that Baltimore game, the things we were asking him to do, just give him a day off.”
So, there’s no concern he...
The 49ers still have control of their postseason road. The biggest difference? Their margin for error is thinner.

San Francisco 49ers links for Friday December 6, 2019
The meaning of ransacking is: “go hurriedly through (a place) stealing things and causing damage.” While I did not have that exact meaning in mind, we need to run the ball well and get to Drew Brees often if we want to win.
Having Matt Breida back along with a healthy George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk should really help our running game. Mike McGlinchey starting to look like he did last year does not...

(Probably not)
You know how I’m always talking about play the trends and judge a team based on they’ve done the past month and a half or so as opposed to the entire season? Well, if you look at the Chicago Bears and their numbers, they look great. Then you realize the Bears played the Lions twice and Daniel Jones. The one team Chicago played that can put up any sort of fight on defense, the Rams, they averaged three yards per play against them. So...

On what jumps about the 49ers (Maiocco)Historically, and this hasn’t changed in our league, their ability to run the football, their ability to score, and conversely on defense, with what they’re doing, it’s been super impressive....

What do you think?
Many of you have asked/commented on why we haven’t talked about this. At first, I had zero interest in covering this “story” for obvious reasons. San Francisco 49ers radio announcer Tim Ryan was suspended for comments he made about Lamar Jackson. Ryan said, “he’s really good at that fake, Lamar Jackson, but when you consider his dark skin color with a dark football with a dark uniform, you could not see...
Radio analyst Tim Ryan offered a mea culpa to players and members of the 49ers organization Thursday for saying Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's dark skin helps him conceal a dark football when using fake handoffs in Baltimore's zone-read-heavy offense.

R-E-L-A-X
The beat writers reported that San Francisco 49ers defensive end Arik Armstead did not participate in Thursday’s practice. The best detail came from The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, who said he saw Armstead leaving practice before it began accompanied by the training staff. NBC Sports’ Jennifer Lee Chan reported that linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and another player knocked knees during a special teams drill....

A statistical breakdown previewing where the Saints and 49ers biggest strengths are on this side of the ball
We know that the 49ers are slight underdogs against the Saints. Now let’s dig into some numbers to see how each team stacks up against each other. We’ll start with when New Orleans has the ball. I don’t like looking at season numbers at this point in the year. So I’ll be using data based on Week 8 and on, which was the trade deadline. It’s...

Kevin Mitchell debuts for Niners Nation, and tells fans to relax, and enjoy the ride.
Well, faithful, another close game, and another loss by a field goal to another great (winning) team. Go ahead and buckle up so we can get moving. I have a few things on my chest I want to get off, so we’re going to take this ride and talk about it.
The 49ers two losses have been to the two frontrunners for the 2019 MVP: Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks (9-2),...

It’s been quite the season for the San Francisco 49ers defense. Plenty of players have stepped up and taken their game to the next level. You could argue nobody has meant more to the Niners defense than linebacker(quarterback?) Fred Warner. He gets everyone lined up, makes all the checks, but most importantly, he makes plays. Warner was named the NFC defensive player of the month for November, which was well deserved.

It’s down to -2.5, which indicates big bettors are betting on San Francisco
The San Francisco 49ers have played their fair share of thrilling games this season. It’s either been a blowout, or the games have come down to the final couple of possessions in 2019 for the Niners. The excitement should continue over the next month and beyond. Week 14’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints should be another exciting game between two of the top teams in...

San Francisco 49ers color commentator Tim Ryan has been suspended for one game after suggesting that Lamar Jackson is good at faking handoffs because of “dark skin with a dark football.” Ryan made the comments in a Monday appearance on KNBR’s “Murph and Mac” when analyzing Jackson’s performance in Sunday’s Baltimore Ravens victory. Ryan said, via Matthias Gafni and Lauren Hernandez of the San Francisco Chronicle: “He’s really good at that fake, Lamar Jackson, but when you...

Eye roll
We’ve been consistent in only using NFL.com’s Power Rankings this season. The San Francisco 49ers have been No. 1 for a few weeks, but a loss to Baltimore allowed the Ravens to take over the top spot. With the loss, the Niners fell to No. 3. Here’s what the author had to say:
The 49ers showed they were up to the challenge in a showdown with the red-hot Ravens, but their inability to make the big play in the second half -- not to mention,...

When I start the Black Monday primer, I know wrinkles will be coming. Take this one: the Carolina Panthers have already fired Ron Rivera. As questionable as the Panthers are, I did not see that one coming. Rivera has been a good coach and took the Panthers to a Super Bowl in the 2015 season. This year, they lost quarterback Cam Newton early-on which hurt, but getting beat by Washington is inexcusable.
It still seems like the Panthers could do worse...
